Accident Reports
I imagine most of you that are posting on here have access to the defence intranet, so instead of speculating (guessing) about previous accident causes, why not read the reports. They ara available back to 1992 on the Strike website.
They should be compulsory reading for all involved in aviation safety ! Read the report on XW666, yes you're right about the short circuit, yes you're right about the retaining nut failing, but read it more deeply, and look for the management failings. Known problem from 20 years previously, not sorted !
